Make a statement and start a conversation with Dawna Gillespie Adornments
My soulful and sculptural wearable artworks and adornments for the home are all hand fabricated and never-reproduced to defy a world inundated with mass-produced accessories. Beginning with a flat sheet of raw copper or brass, each piece takes shape using a jeweler's saw and techniques such as: piercing, patina, oxidation, etching, hammering, forming, forging, stamping, and cold-connecting. Furthermore, I use symbolism to share details of my soul through: the intensity of colors and texture, hand drawn designs and motifs, significance of scale, and rarity of the piece itself. The result is a lightweight adornment that is truly distinctive.
I truly believe that my pieces "connect" with the wearer and whenever a person places a piece of my art on their body, or in their home, our souls are forever joined through the energies of shared space and time. With an unwavering purpose to restore and reunite: individuality, reverence to craftsmanship, and the world's intrinsic beauty; I am connecting never-reproduced adornments and beautiful souls together, one at a time.
Breathe life back into your wardrobe and your home by choosing adornments that say something extraordinary!
